Answered by:
DHCP Services Blocked by the Firewall

Question
-
Hi all,
I installed Windows Vista Server last week. This machine host the DHCP services. I realize that my clients cannot get any IP address.
After investigating, I concluded that it was the vista firewall that was blocking the requests.
So here is my configuration :
- One network interface connected to Internet (mark as public)
- One network interface that is connected to my intranet (I mark it as private)
- DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is allowed in "Inbound rules" of the firewall
I can get an IP from my DHCP only if I change the state of the public profil in "Windows Firewall with advanced security properties" with Allow for inbound connections.
Any help ?
Thank you

1. Vista Server ?
2. Vista is a desktop, not server os. There is no DHCP server built-in to Vista, there is a DHCP client.
2. There is no need to change the firewall for vista to get a dhcp address

what build of longhorn are you using?
I have not had a issue with the firewall and dhcp on any VIsta builds

I use the RC1 (I'll give you the build number later if needed because I don't have access to the server from where I am).
Just a precision, I don't think it is an issue but just a configuration problem.

RC1 is a Vista desktop build there is no dhcp server only a client.
What the dhcp server that is offering address to client computers

so you are using vista as a server ?
All Vista builds are client not server builds and have no builtin dhcp server.

I don't know if you are joking or what ...
Go see this link : http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,2180,2015214,00.asp
And please, if you don't know that there is a Vista Server (or Longhorn Server, call it as you want) so you cannot help me.
I'll try to ask somewhere else ...
